The white writing didn't look quite right on it though. Just force a refresh on the main page and you should hopefully see a shiny new picture. Not sure if I'm going to get used to it though! Google's calculator uses 'natural language', so you just type in what you want it to calculate as if you were saying it. <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&q=24+hours+*+7+*+52+in+minutes&btnG=Search" rel="nofollow">Try this</a>! It'll probably help if you don't try to convert incompatible things, like the number of furlongs in a year! But if you do "furlongs in a mile" it should work ok, as should "furlongs in 10 miles * 50". I wouldn't go trying anything tooooo complicated though.
